Green chemistry in higher education
We help professors and academic departments integrate green chemistry concepts into their curriculum and students understand how green chemistry could apply to their field.
Green chemistry’s value goes beyond chemistry programs — students in business, environmental science, public health, and other disciplines can benefit from green chemistry concepts.
Green chemistry resources for faculty and students
Students in a range of disciplines—from public health to product manufacturing—can benefit from learning to apply green chemistry to their work.
Our goals are to help educators:
- Meet the ACS bachelor’s degree program requirements by providing resources.
- Replace traditional lab chemicals with safer alternatives.
- Develop new experiments that illustrate green chemistry concepts.
- Learn about conferences, resources, and events for students and professors.
- Share stories and examples of green chemistry careers in Washington.
- Show the value of recruiting job applicants and interns with green chemistry education.
